The Melbourne Football Club announces the 5 year plan.

Spokesman Neil Nvoid told the three gathered at the presser that the New Board , The New President an the New Coach have formulated the way to success.

Neil then went on ( an on ) to outline how after much research and untold discovery the MFC is now on the road to finals.

When asked the direction the club will take he outlined the course to be taken based upon the new ideals formed around Wide-ranging Instructions Negating Negative Induced Non-responsive Generations

it seems we've been concentration far to much on Long Odds Systems Inducing Nothing Good

Now the offending characteristic of our poor form has been isolated we will now march fervently up the ladder

When taken to task about our past poor performances it was pointed out that past teams and administrations simply sucked big time.

Asked about the F word Neil responded similarly !! As to top 8 finishes, the official line was "well we take it all one week at a time, but don't go booking any holidays in September from here on in"

So there ya go OD...good as done mate !!

    In Honkers en route to Liverpool via London and Manchester.

    Could someone please briefly list all of the trades we've done before we board for Heathrow (about an hour's time)?

    All our trading staff are either on an extended lunch break or been sacked.

    So when happy hour is over we should have a trade or two but I think we also need some steak knives to sweeten our deals.

    Got every British newspaper in the BA lounge and I see they haven't improved a single iota since I was last here.

    Not a single word about trading and free agency.

    Who do they think they are?

    See you soon.

    11 degrees Thursday. Coldest day in ages.

    Have we stumbled on the faceless men behind the dees

    While RL and WJ are taking an extensive wedding break all trading done by MFC ceases

    We can only wait to see the expenses claim for this wedding when the signed forms for the internationalised Demon recruits are lodged and amid a flurry of reporters their feet hit the tarmac at Melbourne

    Keep it under wraps with coded talk of bananas while letting the mainstream press divert itself with imaginings of Buddys contract

    The next headline

    Melbourne surprises with foreign legion tipped to take flag

    Newspapers for Poms? :blink: Reminds me of trying to follow the 1987 finals campaign from the UK. Almost impossible except by telephone calls home ...

    And it's a very good morning from Liverpool, England and I have some sensational news for followers of this thread.

    We now have our own poet laureate in the form of one of the great female voices in contemporary Japanese literature, Tokyo's own (and now our own as well) Banana Yoshimoto . The author of a dozen novels including Kitchen and her latest, The Lake was featured in the British Airways in flight magazine which I read on the way from London Heathrow to Manchester last night.

    The sun's about to rise in Liverpool, the place we're staying at is right on the Mersey River overlooking the port. Can't think of a better spot to discuss Japanese literature and the fascinating developments of Melbourne's trade week over breakfast with Redleg.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
